Just outside of Strathmore I was pulled over because they said that said they had a report that someone with my vehicle description was shipping drugs. They did a little search of my vehicle (checked the ashtray, the glove compartment and under the seats) and then let me go with nothing said. Fortunately they didn't rip anything apart or plant anything. If they really had a report though, I would imagine the search would have been more extensive.
It was a pretty shocking thing to experience. I couldn't imagine if that sort of thing was a daily or weekly experience like it is for some minorities.
